To tie a bouquet, you should choose at least 15 flowers that are half open so that they can then fully unfold in the bouquet.

To do this, always lay each style at a slight angle over the first and hold it in place with your thumb. A lighter, compact and uniformly round type of binding is described below:
- First, brush out all of the flowers. This means that you have to free all flowers on their styles from the leaves located there. Roses with thorns are carefully scraped off with a knife. To split the freesias out of their bunch, shake them apart very carefully and brush them too. Pinch off petals that are slightly brownish at the edge.
- Now prepare the aspidistra by spraying it with leaf gloss and wiping it with a kitchen towel in one direction. Then take the tips of the leaves and carefully bend them towards the base of the leaves to create a bay shape. Tape the tip there with scotch tape.
- Start with a rose and place a freesia at a slight angle over the rose style so that both flowers are at the same height. Create a milk star and an ozothamnus in the same way. Keep doing this until you have a round, compact shape.
- Now tie this compact bouquet tightly together with gardening tape right in the cross zone of the styles. Wrap the bouquet twice and tie it securely.
- After the bouquet has been fixed in this way, place an aspidistra around the handle and also tie it with gardener's bast.
- Now shorten the styles of the Biedermeier bouquet with a diagonal cut and hide the gardener's bast under a white velvet bow, the ribbons of which may hang down a little.
